High in Vitamin K and Vitamin C. Brussel Sprouts are a cancer fighting vegetable. They are also high in folic acid and fiber.

Brussel Sprouts with Lemon Dressing

Bring a large pot of water to boil. Place Brussel sprouts in pot and continue to boil 3-5 minutes. Smaller sprouts =less time whereas larger sprouts should take more time. Don’t overcook as they will lose their nutrition and flavor!
Prepare dressing:
Juice of one lemon
Salt & pepper
1/3 Cup fresh parsley, chopped or 1-2 Tablespoon dried
2 teaspoons vinegar
Squeeze lemon and pour juice into bowl. Add other ingredients and pour over brussel sprouts.

Bonus Recipe: Simple Brussel Sprouts

In a large skillet melt butter and sauté one garlic clove in butter. Cut Brussels Sprouts in half and place cut side down in the butter. Let cook 3-5 minutes until tender. Test the tenderness by sticking a knife in the sprout. It should be able to pierce through the sprout easily.
